Password managers — cost, renewal and free tier
Service What you pay Also available Renews at Free tier Checked
Apple Passwords $0.00/yr $0.00/yr All of it. The app ships with the operating system, syncs through iCloud Keychain, and there is no paid tier to move up to.
Google Password Manager $0.00/yr $0.00/yr All of it. Free with a Google Account, and the vendor scopes it to "Android or Chrome". No paid tier.
Proton Pass $0.00/yr $0.00/yr This row is the free tier — unlimited logins, notes and cards, unlimited devices, passkeys, 10 hide-my-email aliases, no credit card required.
Vaultwarden $0.00/yr $0.00/yr All of it. AGPL-3.0 licensed software with no paid edition — but you supply and pay for the server it runs on.
Bitwarden Premium $19.80/yr Not published Yes, and an unusually complete one — unlimited passwords on unlimited devices, browser, mobile and desktop apps, passkeys, encrypted export and free sharing with one other user.
1Password Individual $35.88/yr $4.99/mo — $59.88 a year $47.88/yr None. A 14-day free trial, then you pay.
Bitwarden Families $47.88/yr Not published Yes, per person — Bitwarden Free covers each household member separately, without the shared collections the Families plan adds.

“Not published” means we did not find a renewal price stated by the vendor on the date we checked. It is not a claim that the price changes on renewal, and it is not a claim that it doesn’t.
